Updated: NECA Announces Their First Predator: Hunting Grounds Figure: Samurai Predator!

NECA’s next Predator figure has been revealed! For their “prednesday” social media post, they shared a look at their first figure from Illfonic’s video game Predator: Hunting Grounds. Check out the first look at the Samurai Predator figure below!

 NECA Announces Their First Predator: Hunting Grounds Figure: Samurai Predator!

The hunt continues…. 6/6/25

It feels like things are coming full circle as Illfonic also incorporated one of NECA’s figure designs into their game, the Alpha Predator, way back in 2020. The Samurai Predator was actually the first paid DLC Predator in the game. A Japanese aesthetic for the Predator is no stranger to collectibles, with previous designs being offered by Prime 1, Hot Toys, and CoolProps.

NECA teased in their post that we’ll be seeing more on this Predator figure on Friday, June 6th, so we’ll be keeping an eye out for that. Predator: Hunting Grounds has quite a few Yautja that would make fantastic figures, so hopefully this is the first of more to be seen in the future.

    Quote from: Mike's Monsters on Jun 25, 2025, 12:43:30 AMYeah, heating up the knee a bit with boiling or hot water. Boiling less time, but standard hot water for 30 seconds to a minute will loosen it up a bit, then you should be able to push it back in with some force. If not, give it a little longer on the heat and try again. Just don't go too far with the heat, you can easily warp or melt the plastic.

    I've had a few NECA figures, specifically Predator figures and have had a leg too long here and there, and doing the hot water treatment and pushing it in usually does the trick.
    Thanks guys!
    I did it today. It was a pain, but I do it on the fourth try. I was afraid of overheating. The peg was  difficult to insert...

    Hi!
    I have a Celtic predator from Neca in my collection. But it has a factory defect.  One leg is longer than the other. From the back, you can see that it looks like it's not fully inserted. Who knows how I can fix this?
    I did not find on the Internet how this joint near the knee is arranged((

    Hey guys,

    I don't know if this is the right place:

    Recently recovered my falconer back from my old bedroom, it's missing it's blade.

    Do you know of any page where they sell "spare" parts or where I can get the design for 3D printing?

    Any other suggestions?

    Thanks

    I thought exactly the same!  ;D  The chances of NECA releasing a ninja predator are very high.

    I'd snap that straight up! I'd snag a figure of each of the main Predators tbh. Bring them on NECA!

    I ended up preordering the Samurai figure. I think the KoK Japan sequence has me hyped for this one. lol
    I think it's a neat look overall though. I love Japanese style art/etc. Kind of a fun change up to my current NECA Pred collection.

    The tied up dreads has me assuming Dek will surely be one of their upcoming figures.

    Remember, when posed with the question "Should they make a figure of ___________ Predator?", the correct answer is YES, 100% of the time, regardless of circumstances.

    Friends don't let friends not get new Predators. Stay safe out there, kids.

    As well as the movie is doing, I'd put money on at least the Viking and Ninja Predators getting figures.

    The WW2 Pred, not so much, as he's never seen outside of his ship...so what would be the point?
    The point is that he looks cool, from what we see of him.
    They could make a diorama of his cockpit, so you could pose him like in the movie.

    This Samurai Predator design has been out for about 5 years, since 2020, and we've had 2 new movies, with a 3rd on the way. The less popular designs haven't killed the franchise, and I think folks would be surprised to see the numbers of people who have paid for these designs with their hard earned money, with either DLC, or the figures, because they like what they are seeing.

    I personally am not a fan of the cosplay Predator designs, but they are selling, and sales help make the decisions.
  13. (Bad Blood)
    Yeah I was hoping for literally any other predator besides this one from Hunting grounds, default designs to start. Plus Hot Toys is already releasing a samurai predator this year. Also not a huge fan of the tied up dread look. Also the dew claw and back foot spike are a completely different color than the toe nails and fingernails which just throws it way off to me as realistic.

    I don't understand this trend of naked and/or more human predator designs. Anyone have an idea why this is prevalent?
  15. THEXEN0PLAYS
    With KOK around the corner and this being the second figure out of PHG to be released from Neca, I sense more figures are on the horizon. Possibly the Viking predator, in the spirit of KOK, or would love to see a Dutch 2025 figure! ;D
